UACS students Ivana Stojanoska and Dragica Marenceva from the School of Business Economics and Management attended a prestigious summer school at the American Institute for Political and Economic Studies (AIPES), organized by George Washington University, USA, and Charles University, Czech Republic. The summer school was held in Prague and lasted from the 5th to the 27th of July, 2011, at Charles University, where over 120 students were in attendance.
